Tears well up in Harry's eyes as Remus hugs him. They needed to tell him about the marks before he found out on his own. It was only right. The man had pledged to be there for them so it was only right for him to know the truth. "Remus. I..." He looks over at Hermione. "We need to tell you something. I will understand if you will want nothing to do with us once you find out the truth."
Hermione blinks. She knew that this was going to be hard for Harry to do. He looked up to Remus and now he was going to risk everything just to tell the truth. She reaches over and clutches Harry's hand.
Harry swallows and slowly rolls up the sleeve of his shirt. He turns his arm towards Remus so he could see the ugly black mark that scarred his pale skin.
Remus's eyes widen as he sees the mark of the death eater of Harry's arm. "How..Why?" He looks at Harry in hopes of a explanation. "Your to young to be a spy..." He trails off.
Hermione looks down at the sheet that covered the bed. "We had no choice. He make us a offer. Either we be marked or we die. I didn't want to die and neither did Harry. I know it was expected of us to give our lives but we couldn't." She says quietly.
Lupin is shocked. "Does Dumbledore know? Did he tell anyone else?"
Harry sighs. "Dumbledore knows but we have no idea if he has told anyone else. He told us that he was disappointed in us. You have to understand. We didn't want to do it. But there was no choice."
"When you got sick last night, did that have something to do with your marks?" Remus asks in a serious voice.
"They burn when Lord Voldemort summons his death eaters. By not answering his call it make us sick." Harry says honestly.
Lupin frowns then sighs. "You two have gone through things that would make a grown witch or wizard flee in terror and yet so much is still expected of you. Dumbledore had no right telling you that he was disappointed in you. If you would of died Harry, our world would never survive Voldemort. I still stick by my promise. I will stay by your side, no matter what and I completely understand your choice. I think I might of done the same thing if I was in your robes."
"Then you will also understand our choice about leaving once again, tonight. We can't stay here. We would never be trusted by anyone especially the headmaster. I don't want this baby to be raised in the shadows of a looming war. I can't bare for it to go through what I went through. Our best option is to disappear into the muggle world and return when the time is right." Harry says. Him and Hermione had talked over a situation like this before they were caught. Minus the baby part. But they still felt that it was their best option at the moment.
Remus taps his chins for a moment then nods. "It's a good idea but I'm coming with you. It will be easier to pass as muggles if you have a parent figure with you. Plus I'm must more skilled in magic than you two." He stands and brushes his shabby robe off. He strides over to Poppy's office door and mumbles "Alohomora". The clink can be heard as the door unlocks. He steps inside and looks around. He pulls open his robe and begins to place several bottles, off her selves, inside. He then heads back out to the kids. "We must leave our wands here. It will be risky but wands can be tracked even if not in use." He pulls his wand out and lays it on his chair. "Are you sure about this? This might be your last chance to see your parents, Harry."
Harry nods. "Yes. It might be my last chance but I do not feel the least bit of remorse. If they had wanted me to see them they would of stopped by here." He pulls his wand out of pant pocket and lays it on his hospital bed. He felt the bottom fall out of his stomach. He was leaving the very world that he loved and cherished but it was for a good reason.
Hermione also places her wand on her bed and slowly stands. She was feeling better but knew in the morning her stomach would be churning. "We should go before anyone tries to stop us. Do you have any idea to where we should go, sir?"
Lupin nods slowly. "I lived as a muggle for a number of years so I think I may of a plan. Who's father should I be then?"
Harry smiles. "Mine, I guess. We have the best chemistry. So that might make it easier to pass as father and son."
Remus nods and taps his head once with his wand. His greying blonde hair was replaced with auburn red and his eyes faded to a light brown. He was also now wearing a muggle sweater and trousers. "I think it would be best if you two resume your altered appearances for now." He taps them both once on the head and they return to their former looks. He lays the wand back on the chair and takes a deep breath. "Shall we be going, son?" His voice had also changed. It became deeper but it still held the same tone of amusement as before. He holds out a hand for Harry to take and in the other was a old looking watch. It was a portkey that would get them away from Hogwarts and then he would apparate them away.
Harry nods and grasps Hermione's hand. "Yes father. I think it was about time that we left." A small smile plays on his lips as he places his other hand into Remus's. With a familiar tug on their navel all three disappear.
